Mercado Común. Common Market
A cartoon belittles Franco’s intentions to enter the European Union. An old Franco, dressed in his military uniform, rides an emaciated horse toward the European Union.

It's clear that it will be hard to get there with this horse. The barren soil contrasts with Franco’s corpulence. -
